How to use Print Presets
PrintPresetsarenotboundtoaparticulartemplate.TheycanbeusedwithdifferentPrinttemplates,as
longasthedatacontainstherequiredinformation.
JobCreationPresetsandOutputCreationPresetscanalsobeusedindifferentcombinations,although
notrandomly:
l
Groupsofdocuments,suchasinvoicesforaspecificcustomer,canbeprintedseparately.This
requiresthatthedocumentsaregroupedinadvance.Inotherwords,theSeparationsettingsin
theOutputCreationPresetandtheGroupingsettingsintheJobCreationPresetmustmatch.
(Seealso:"Splittingprintingintomorethanonefile"onpage1329.)
l
ConditionsandoutputfilenamesinanOutputCreationPresetcanonlymakeuseofthosemeta
datatagsthathaveactuallybeenaddedtotheprintjobviatheIncludemetadatasettinginthe
JobCreationPreset.
l
ThefinishingoptionsselectedintheJobCreationPresetshouldmatchthecapabilitiesofthe
printerselectedintheOutputCreationPreset.

JobCreationPresets
AJob Creation Presetisafilethatcontainssettingsforthecreationofaprintjob.Itisusedafteratem-
platehasbeenmergedwithdata,butbeforetheactualprintoutputfileisproduced.Mergingatemplate
withdataresultsinasetofprint content items.BasedonthesettingsinaJobCreationPreset,the
Connectservercantakeanumberofactionsonasetofprintcontentitems.Theactionsaredescribed
below.
Inaddition,runtime parameterscanbedefinedinaJobCreationPreset.Filledwithavalueat
runtime,thesecanbeusedforcomparisonsagainstconditionswithintheJobCreation,orinexternal
sortingprograms.
